When asked about the free agent, the club’s President Rodolfo Landim told UOL: “He’s a great player and we’ve been in contact.

“He’s shown interest in playing for Flamengo, but nothing’s been decided yet.

“He’s a great player, but a lot of water still needs to run under that bridge.”

The 29-year-old would be the second high-profile Italian to join a South American team this summer after Daniele De Rossi moved to Boca Juniors.
